A lot of ebooks seem to be more epub or pdf these days. RTF isn't used quite so much.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

RTF is a rarity these days since basically every phone, tablet, and other handheld device can handle either PDFs or HTML (and ePub is basically just a ZIP file with HTML in a specific naming scheme and structure). Back in the day though you'd find RTFs more often for use in budget/jury-rigged eReader options. It's much easier to parse, if nothing else.
